Some days ago, Apple released new products as you are all aware. The battery life of the updated Macbook Pro when I reviewed the technical specifications seemed through the roof. I wanted to think that like with any other battery the number was just for show but in reality it would be much lower.

However, this morning I read about some tests being made concluding that Apple really kept their promises. In Fortune, you can read that the battery lasted over 8 hours of light web browsing or almost 5 hours of heavy downloading.

Many people are bothered that they are now unable to change the battery and will have to pay $120 for an Apple technician to change the battery. The reason behind the scenes is that this saves space for the battery so it can be made larger plus the battery volume is developed to be more efficient with lithium polymer technology.

There is a 5 year warranty or like they say, 1000 recharges. I don’t count the times I recharge my battery but the average lifetime of a notebook battery was set to 300 recharges. 1000 recharges and 8 hours of battery time?

Sounds good to me.
